Now that Cole has totally given up (like the bird in the nest that he dreamed about), help finally arrives. In essence, this implies that Cole realizes he can’t be helped until he totally gives into his own vulnerability. That his pain increases as he’s being helped, however, foreshadows how difficult Cole’s journey will be going forward. He’s made many important leaps during his time on the island, but this doesn’t mean he has the tools to put these lessons into practice in real life.
